It is called not having an INVITATION and trying to gate crash..waiting in line has nothing to do with it.And honest to Pete, does anyone here honestly believe that not listening to the police who are asking you to vacate is NOT a threat to our elected officials?

And, the last time I watched football, it didn't look anything like these guys who tried to bring the Rev outside, and who then RESISTED.

sorry, no go. Thanks for the videotape. I nice example of an attempt at a set-up, a twisting of facts, and a great example of different perspectives from eyewitness reports.

If he had cooperated, he would not have gotten injured. Funny that the camera was there rolling before anything happened. Did he really break his leg or just claim it for the camera? UPI did not report a broken leg, they reported an ankle injury. Its not uncommon to have protesters at these events, try to "set up" the DC cops.

Palo Alto Weekly Holiday Fund
For the last 23 years, the Palo Alto Weekly Holiday Fund has given away more than $4 million to local nonprofits serving children and families. When you make a donation, every dollar is automatically doubled, and 100% of the funds go directly to local programs. It’s a great way to ensure your charitable donations are working at home.
